Have new grad quant offers from both companies. Both offers are in the range 400-500K, including sign on Can’t disclose much on the specific teams since I want to keep my anonymity, but both teams work closely with alpha and both look interesting to me. Want to hear your guys thoughts on two sigma vs de shaw in general. My friends at two sigma say WLB there is great. Typically 40 hours a week. However, TC upside is low, even for quants. But you also don’t get fired if your models are garbage. I don’t know much about de shaw. I heard they recently started running discretionary strategies, which might not be a good sign for a supposedly quant firm. Anyone knows how’s TC upside at de shaw? Do they pay more than two sigma in the long run? Any comments is appreciated. #twosigma #deshaw #citadel #hudsonrivertrading #janestreet #jumptrading #akunacapital #optiver #citadelsecurities
D.E. Shaw has a reputation for paying a lot more than Two Sigma and is considered a tier above.
Oh really? Thanks for letting us know.
+1
Mind if I ask what we’re you asked for the data analysis on-site for the quant at 2sig?
Those who are voting two sigma, care to explain why?
More coveted. You will work with geniuses. I heard BofA 2 sigma and Rennesance tech have excellent working environments.
Hold on. TS is not more coveted than De Shaw and never was. Their returns in the past couple of years have been very average to further enlarge the gulf that existed between them
Desco >> Two Sigma.
Oh man, this is FOMO inducing. Wish they had West Coast offices.
Why is everyone choosing two sigma? DE Shaw is and always has been superior
DE Shaw is better. People voting two sigma know nothing...
Why? Does de shaw pay better in general?
More prestigious and higher ceiling
Those who picked 2s are applying to all the quant roles at DE Shaw at this very moment
Shaw 100%. I've worked at a quant trading firm.
How come you came to Google then?
Are you an MS student? What’s your research experience like?
I have +3 yoe in stat and math research.
So how exactly is this new grad if you have 3 yoe?
